Summer Driving Holiday
Hi all
I'm looking for insipiration. We have decided to drive down to Alicante (Nanny and Gramps Villa) for our summer jollys in September and need some ideas on where to stop off 'en route' through France.
If anyone has visited any special places basically between Paris and Argeles (Spanish Border), I would like to hear about them. We can visit places on the way there and on the way back.
I have no fondness for France, Spain is has my favour, but given that we are driving through, and with nearly 12 month old twins and 22 month old toddler, breakes may as well be in nice places.
If it were my choice I would just drive through stopping as little as possible, but there you go.
Thanks
Sally

I've looked at some of the eurocamp sites, didnt know that they do mobiles now, not just tents. But 3 nights is £225 so its a bit pricey, and it depends what car we have to go down in. We're hoping this new job of Micks alows us to get a replacement car for me, a grand voyager, and one for Mick. If we cant have one of those then its down in the Laguna (100% less space). So we'll see.
We are going to Poland next week, 22 hours driving time and stopping in Germany overnight and probably again in west Poland as it's too far for 1 hit with both of us driving. We haven't driven it before but flew 2 years ago when bella was 13 months. Even though she was old enough for cows milk, we took a box of formula for those times when keeping fresh milk cool was tricky. When we are there we usually buy UHT as it's nicer (yes that may sound strange but milk in a bag can be a bit ropey), we used the formula for outings in the car when we were having other drinks and not milk. It worked well so were going to do that again this time.
We are only taking a single buggy for our 15 month old, our 3 year old will have to walk if we stop on the way and maybe we'll borrow another single when we get there. She's still too little/lazy to walk very far, especially if she's tired. We're relying on in car DVD to entertain them while we drive and might well do something active in the morning then drive from late morning/lunch to late evening.
